The arrival of fresh strawberries signals the start of summer, the time to visit pick-your-own farms and farmers’ markets to stock up on plump, ripe berries. Strawberry Love celebrates strawberry season with 45 recipes, all beautifully photographed, for enjoying this heavenly fruit, fresh or frozen. From breakfast treats (French Toast with Strawberry Syrup) to salads (Strawberry, Burrata, and Arugula Salad), main courses (Hamburger Sliders with Goat Cheese, Strawberries and Bacon), and desserts (Strawberry Creamsicles on a Stick and Strawberry Heart Hand Pies), strawberry lovers will find tantalizing new ways—along with the classics—to make the most of their summer berry bounty. Both books also includes tips for picking, freezing, and making jams and syrups for enjoying the taste of summer all year long. Says Cathy Barrows, author of Pie Squared and When Pies Fly ,“Is it my birthday yet? Because I don't want to wait for the Strawberry Birthday Cake in Cynthia Graubart's delicious new book, Strawberry Love. The sweet recipes range from comforting and familiar (Challah French Toast with Strawberry Syrup) to new and exciting (Pink Strawberry Pie with freeze-dried strawberries IN THE CRUST!) I was particularly taken with the surprising savory options like Pork Chops with Strawberry Balsamic Sauce and Fish Tacos with Strawberry Salsa which showcase Graubart's recipe talents.”
